The Four Cs

Diamond Rarity

Diamond

At Helzberg Diamonds, we pride ourselves on having extremely strict standards for diamond quality - especially when it comes to the cut of our diamonds. We stand behind every diamond that goes into every piece of our jewelry, ensuring that it lives up to the standards we have upheld since 1915.

The basics of diamonds has always come down to the 4Cs - cut, color, clarity and carat weight.

Cut: The cut of a diamond affects how well a diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well cut diamond will appear brilliant and fiery.

Color: A diamond's color is a measure of the stone's whiteness, meaning it is actually measuring the lack of color a diamond has.

Clarity: The clarity of a diamond refers to the presence (or lack) of imperfections. Generally, the more imperfections (or inclusions) a diamond has, the lower the clarity.

Carat Weight: A carat specifically measures a diamond's weight. Because of its rarity, one larger diamond is more valuable than a combination of smaller diamonds.

My boyfriend bought me these earrings for my birthday. They are so beautiful. Not too big or gaudy but enough to sparkle and catch people's eye! I have gotten several comments on them!

I received these as a gift from my boyfriend to wear as everyday earrings. I just always keep them in--they are casual enough for daily wear but nicer than plain studs and add a little sparkle to my ears! I've worn them in hot tubs and the ocean and they still look great.

Easily worn alone or with another set of earings. I like them because they loop all the way around, lockiing on themselves, so the studs don't poke you in the head if your on the phone all day.
A nice treat for yourself or a really good friend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shanna A stunning gift!
My husband gave these to me for Christmas - what a perfect gift! They can be worn with anything, and they grab attention. I receive compliments on them all the time. What I can't figure out is how I can hold them in my hand and they feel heavy, but when I put them in my ears they are so light! They are very comfortable and great for sensitive ears like mine. The clasp and hinge are very durable. Can't go wrong with these earings!
